Bob is the owner and is super friendly and helpful. I stopped in to ask if he could replace the brake lines on my vintage camper van. He was super helpful and couldn’t have been nicer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I had an emergency while driving to Chicago and this was the closest shop to my location. I stopped by with no appointment and told the gentleman inside the issue. My brakes had locked up on the interstate. When I told him that I could get a rental and pick it up the following day, he told me that he would prefer to get me back on the road today so no one tried to get into my vehicle overnight. He drove me to me to my office that was nearby and told me that he should have everything done by noon. I will not go anywhere else for brakes as long as his shop is open. His pricing was fair and he got be back on the road in time to make my meeting.

Bob is a God send! After going to another garage and getting a steep quote to replace the brakes and rotors on my wife's vehicle, I called The Brake Shop, and received a no nonsense quote that was near half the amount at the other garage. Bob was able to complete the repairs the same day we brought him the vehicle, and I am so happy with the work. 10/10 I would recommend.

An old-school auto shop. Bob has been doing his thing for 40 years. He can do anything not engine-based, like brakes, mufflers, sway bar links, ....His work is excellent. His prices are reasonable. He is knowledgeable about cars, and when he cannot do something, he will send you to someone he trusts. Also, the Tilden for Brakes Car Name is a google mistake.

Fast, friendly service at a great price. My rear brakes were shot, then I got in an accident that messed up the front end. A body shop finished up the accident work, but then my brakes seemed even worse. The Brake Shop figured out my problem quickly, explained it so I could understand, then told me how much it would cost to fix so I could decide. Since parts were available in town, they were able to finish the work the same day. Really nice guy.
